With the Grafana 8.5 release, we introduced the concept of service accounts. Now with the Grafana 9.1 release, we’re making service accounts generally available. This is a project that came out of technical necessity, but it has given us the opportunity to reflect on API tokens and machine-to-machine interaction across Grafana Labs.
In Enterprise Search 8.4, hybrid ranking for vector similarity is now available from the main querying endpoint, commonly known as the _search Elasticsearch endpoint. Introduced as a standalone query endpoint in 8.0, vector querying functionality (specifically, kNN vector similarity) greatly simplifies and accelerates the process of crafting and issuing queries that leverage the native vector querying capabilities of Elasticsearch along with the tried-and-tested traditional scoring algorithms.
Streaming time series data from brokers and services that are on-premises or in the cloud to a cloud-based database is a resource-intensive process requiring third-party software and heavy customizations. Today we’re announcing InfluxDB Native Collectors to make it easy for developers to collect, process, and analyze data by subscribing directly to supported message brokers.
In the monitoring industry there’s a complicated and frustrating conversation that persisted over the years: how do you deal with the enormous volume of data generated by instrumentation?

They’re both right.
